The Bard's Town

03/26/2024

Due to some unexpected building issues we will have to postpone our 2nd round of Chasing Ophelia auditions today. We thank everyone that participated yesterday & will be sure to update folks in the next few days about moving forward. We appreciate your understanding & support!

Hey friends! If you're feeling feisty or if you're doing a show bring your cast and come on out to The Bard for Karaoke Cast Party night! We've got Derrick Palmer hosting for us so it's sure to be a fun time! ❤️

And if you're not doing a show you should come see The Chicken Coop Theatre Company Presents The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940 before karaoke! It's a great murder mystery with lots of fun physical comedy! Only two shows left! One more matinee at 2:00 tomorrow!

Thank you so much to everyone that came out to our surprise karaoke this past weekend! We had a great turnout and a magical time was had by all! 🥰 Don't worry if you missed it. We'll be doing it more regularly soon! 😉

On that note keep an eye out here for upcoming event announcements!

Like this one! 📣

We are planning a memorial event for Doug Schutte coming up on Mar. 9th just before his birthday on the 11th. It will be in the late afternoon around 4:30 so that people who have shows in the evening can still attend before their call times. After the service we will hang out and do a little Schutteoke for folks that want to stick around or can't come until later.

We'll be posting the event later today. Please make sure to RSVP as Going and not just Interested if you're coming so we can figure out how many chairs we will need to set up. ❤

Thank you Doug Schutte for bringing us together.
Thank you for creating a home for us.
Thank you for giving us a place to find ourselves.
Thank you for fostering a safe space for us.
Thank you for believing in us.
Thank you for being you.

The brightest stars burn out the fastest, and you burned brighter than all of us. The past year has been much darker without your guiding light.

The Bard would not exist without you and your passion. We only hope that we are able to do your dreams justice as we move forward with your mission. We will always be Schutte's Bard's Town and we will always be in Schutte's Louisville.

You are missed by this community and its members more than you could ever know. We love you Doug! ❤️

Look out for scammers trying to sell fake merch. Someone has been sharing links on all of our posts to a fake website. Message us directly for all Bard merch orders.

Here's just a few of the tye dye options. We'll share more choices here soon! ❤️

It's kind of hard to see under the chairs, but we're super excited to share that we now have a sturdy all black stage, new speakers and a few mounted lights!!! 🤩 It's getting closer and closer y'all! 🥰

Shoot us a message to see how you can help and how you can order Bard merch! 😘

We had a very successful night last night at the Groucho Wing-A-Long! We loved bringing the Louisville community a little taste of that old Bard’s Town flavor they’ve been missing! Thanks to our boy Groucho Trout for helping make it happen!

It’s only going to get better from here everyone! We’ll see you at the next event! 😊

10/13/2023

Tomorrow at The Bard is the Groucho Wing-A-Long! 🤩 Get your ears and your bellies ready to be filled up with good tunes and great foods! 🍗🎤

The action will start a little after 6 with the Pianaoke goodness we've all been missing, followed by Groucho keeping the party going into the night! 😎

It's Oct so if you're feeling feisty come in costume! We might have a little costume contest moment if enough people come dressed up! 🥸

We can't wait to see you there! 😍
